A stellar group of artists take on Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit beginning October 1 in the West End at @sohoplace.
The international hit—where performers take the stage with no
preparation, no director, and no idea what will greet them as they open a
sealed envelope and take out the script—features a different actor at each show. Kicking off the engagement, which continues through November 9, is Nick Mohammed.
The lineup for the play’s West End debut is also set to include Harriet
Walter, Elizabeth McGovern, Toby Jones, Stephen Merchant, Naoko Mori,
Tanya Reynolds, Adjoa Andoh, Ralf Little, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Matt Lucas,
Kate Phillips, Miriam Margolyes, Paloma Faith, Stockard Channing,
Sanjeev Bhaskar, Sheila Atim, Rory Kinnear, Lenny Henry, Minnie Driver,
Ambika Mod, Ryan Calais Cameron, Douglas Henshall, Katherine Parkinson, Denise Gough, Freema Agyeman, Olly Alexander, Keith Allen, Mathew Baynton, John Bishop, Alan Davies, Daisy Edgar Jones, Joe Dempsie, Omari Douglas, Alfred Enoch, Kate Fleetwood, Richard Gadd, Jill Halfpenny, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Jason Isaacs, Pearl Mackie, Nick Mohammed, Sally Phillips, Jonathan Pryce, Michael Sheen, Callum Scott Howells, Ben Bailey Smith, Tonia Sotiropoulou, and Catherine Tate.
Forbidden to leave his country,
Iranian
playwright Soleimanpour transcribed his experience of isolation into
this unique stage work. The play premiered at the 2011 Edinburgh
Festival Fringe, where it won a series of awards. It has since been
translated into more than 30 languages and performed globally—including
Off-Broadway in 2016 where the performers included Wayne Brady, Darren
Criss, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg.
Playwright Soleimanpour said in an earlier statement, “It is personal but
universal. Funny yet very political. And so timely for the world we live
in. We are so excited to present it at this time and in such great
company.”
Lambert Jackson and Nassim Soleimanpour Productions produce in association with Nica Burns.
